The Case for Snow-Control Legislation

By Orin Kerr

Wednesday?s Philadelphia Inquirer published this very funny commentary about snow-control legislation. It begins:

As the mid-Atlantic region faces yet another massive blizzard, the problem of unregulated snow can no longer be ignored. It?s time for Congress to set limits on the crystalline mayhem descending through the atmosphere and disrupting the lives of hardworking Americans.

Certainly, snow-control legislation would require political will and bipartisan support. But if today?s policymakers don?t put an end to snowstorms, these boom-and-bust blizzards will continue to undermine our nation?s growth and prosperity.
